Welcome back to my “Merry Mantel” decorating series! Today’s look is a themed around a beautiful piece of architectural salvage that my Great-Grandpa Irwin pulled from a condemned old church in Minnesota, a loooong time ago. Click the play button on the video below to watch…
Here’s a still shot of the finished product for those who can’t view the video:
A lot of folks have been asking where I got the garlands so I wanted to mention that I got them at Michaels. I love how soft their needles are, and I love that the branch parts are brown- just like they would be if they were real. Those are the kinds of things I look for when I’m “fauxliage” shopping. 🙂
I’ll be back tomorrow with look #4…it ended up being my favorite of the week!

I am loving your videos of decorating a mantel. Such clever ideas. The window speaks to me.
I hope you will show us what one you are going it use for Christmas.
Wowza-your window and mantle are stunners!
LOVE the window! Just my 5 cents worth, but I liked the garland without the embellishments better. xx
Thanks, Colette! I’m a big fan of “naked greenery” too! 😀 I’m trying to pack LOTS of ideas into this series though, so no nudity allowed in these vids. 😉
Beautiful ideas all throughout…but wowser that window is so special ❤️

It looks so pretty, Layla! That window is swoon worthy. I can’t help but be memorized by your curtains! Is there a source somewhere on the blog? They turned out great!
